The Browns have to wait one more day to kick off their preseason schedule, but that may just serve to let the excitement build even more for Johnny Manziel’s first professional action.

While Manziel won’t start against the Lions and Brian Hoyer is expected to get all of the playing time with the starters, it’s a safe bet that the first-round pick’s play will be the most scrutinized part of the evening’s activities. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer will join Mike Florio on Friday’s PFT Live to let us know what to expect from Manziel, Hoyer and the rest of the Browns when they play their first game with Mike Pettine as head coach.

We’ll also close the week with another round of questions from PFT Planet. Send them in on Twitter — @ProFootballTalk — or by giving a call to 888-237-5269 during the show and Florio will give you his replies.

The Browns, as an organization, seem to be pushing for Manziel to start sooner rather than later. meanwhile, the players on the field, who actually see what both QBs do up close, seem to overwhelmingly support Hoyer when they’ve spoken to media.

Translation: “We don’t care about winning- we just want to ride the wave of jer$ey $ales and ticket$ being bought because of Manziel’s media popularity, so let’s do whatever we can to get Johnny in there.”

Mary Kay Cabot, being nothing more than a puppet for Browns brass, is trying to push that idea and plant that seed.
